The Lord Will Save His People

14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
    and (A)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
(B)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
    and will march forth in (C)the whirlwinds (D)of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts (E)will protect them,
    and (F)they shall devour, (G)and tread down the sling stones,
and (H)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
    and be full like a bowl,
    drenched (I)like the corners of the altar.

16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
    as (J)the flock of his people;
for (K)like the jewels of a crown
    they shall shine on his land.
17 (L)For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
    (M)Grain shall make the young men flourish,
    and new wine the young women.

14 Then the Lord will appear (A)over them,
And His (B)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [a]God will blow the (C)trumpet,
And march in the (D)storm winds of the south.
15 (E)The Lord of armies will protect them.
And they will (F)devour and trample on the (G)slingstones;
And they will drink and be (H)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the (I)corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will (J)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a (K)crown,
Sparkling on His land.
17 For how great will [b]their (L)loveliness and (M)beauty be!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the virgins.
